You've probably heard a lot about the Samsung Galaxy S6 of late, and with good reason – it was one of the stars of the recent Mobile World Congress mobile show, and is bound to be one of the standout smartphones of the year. But enough of what we think. Now's your chance to experience it for yourself.

Both it and the Galaxy S6 Edge will be available for hands-on time in Samsung Experience Stores from tomorrow. So you can start fondling, caressing, and generally getting to know both devices.

They don't actually go on sale until April 10th, so you'll have almost four weeks to decide whether either is the right phone for you.

Samsung has its work cut out. It's seen sales fall in recent years, and in the east, budget handset makers like Xiaomi have eaten into its market share. But it's under attack from the top end of the market too – Apple recently overtook Samsung as the world's biggest smartphone manufacturer.

Pre-orders start for the Apple Watch on April 10th, which is sure to overshadow Samsung's launch. The HTC One M9 also goes on sale on March 31st.

As we say, it has its work cut out.

There are nine Samsung Experience Stores in the UK: Bournemouth, Bradford, Bristol, Cardiff, Liverpool, London, Manchester and two in Newcastle.
